I've just rebuild bash with the latest patched libc from Nate's site: I
still have the same problem with /dev/null.
So, I've made a little test program which just calls stat on "/dev/null",
and the call to stat returns 0 (success).

It looks like the problem is not within stat...

Now, if I unset the SYSROOT variable (which was previously set to 'C:') ,
the /dev/null problem disapears....
I recall that with the stock bash binary from bsh1147b.zip, the /dev/null
problem doesn't exist even when SYSROOT is set.


If someone have a clue...
